The best place to go for an expertly mixed "cocktail." Y'know, like from the early 60's. Flawless martinis, manhattans, gimlets, etc., for around 4 dollars. The margaritas also rule. This place is best known for playing host to JFK and Jackie during the Camelot years. The decor hasn't changed a bit, yet is surprisingly kitchless... it's like stepping into a time warp. Bonus points: the food is good, too.
